Further, try getting anything undeleted and you'll see that no matter what the arguments are, you'll find at least one user voting "KD, valid Afd" if there were 66% or more votes because for them, it's the process that matters. This is the very same process that defines "consensus" as 66%.
Hmm. I've not looked at VfU, but I wonder if having an article nominated for undeletion by an Admin who voted for its deletion might make a difference.
I ask this because I nominated an article about a person some weeks ago that I thought was a hoax (I even asked another Wikiepdian who I believed knows more about Ethiopia than I as a sanity check), but since have found verification that said person *did* exist. (Is Emperor Haile Selassie's autobiography reliable enough?)
FWIW, I probably won't get around to writing the article from scratch for 6 months, but if it was undeleted I'd likely add the information that I found within a few days.
